Question

9(x +3) = 4x -3 cant figure it out

Answer 1

`x=-6`

Explanation:

`9\left(x+3\right)=4x-3`

Expand:

`9x+9*3=4x-3`

`9x+27=4x-3`

Subtract 27 from both sides:

`9x+27-27=4x-3-27`

`9x=4x-30`

Subtract 4x from both sides:

`9x-4x=4x-30-4x`

`5x=-30`

Divide both sides by 5:

`(5x)/(5)=(-30)/(5)`

`x=-6`
